I can't argue, to be fair. In fact, I wouldn't be against wickering any under-40s. Have you met the under-40s? Dreadful people.

And don't get me started on the over-50s.

Yep, the little fuckers who work for me and laugh at jokes they are far too young and uneducated to understand.   >:(

Not their fault you're a snob who clearly intimidates them 😉

So glad we have PSG in Super Cup in August.

I know it’s petty but I am glad that Arsenal didn’t win. Even better if we beat PSG to win the super cup now.

Arsenal paid big money for Eze hoping he’d be a game changer at vital moments in important matches. And he was.

Arsenal are the worst side ever to appear in a CL final.
I mean, are they worse than Inter Milan last year?

Lowest possession percentage of any finalist since records began.

Inter were dreadful in 2024. Convinced we'd have battered them if they'd have faced us. No idea who they knocked Barcelona out.

Instead, we gave PSG a Hell of a fright.

I find it all very odd. I’m glad they lost, but there’s no shame in how they approached it. There’s too much snootiness about football - we’ve had it with the XG stuff - if you’re successful then it is what it is. Good that Paris won and time to get them back.

Call me old fashioned but if you don't enter the opposition's half don't complain that you lost. XG is for kids, we were too busy scoring worldies to be concerned.
Exactly. An insufferable final. Arsenal paid for their cowardice and lack of ambition, despite the gods of fortune stacking up in their favour.

Good riddance.

Arsenal may well have been the better side, in a different match.
And this is why their defeat, though of the narrowest margin, is so comprehensive. They have the budget, the players, the media idolatry to compete with PSG. Instead they tried to usurp the costume of the plucky upstart.

Shame on them!

Just checking I’ve got this right:
Maduake- no pen as he wrapped his arm around the PSG defender
Trossard handball - not handball as his arms by his body
Saka handball - handball as he controlled the ball with his arms (and he doesn’t play for Man Utd)
Kvara penalty - penalty as Mosquera goes through him to get to the ball and should have been a yellow card.

So overall two errors and both in Arsenal’s favour and still Arteta moans.

Saka was very fortunate. Madueke grabs the defender in arm lock and puls him down on top of gim. Smart if it works. It didnt
